What’s up with all the high dollar carrying cases called designer handbags? I could sew together some fabric or leather, put some fancy rhinestones on it, give it some interior pockets, throw a couple of different swatches of color on it and sell it for $2000? Not unless you’re already a designer, you say? Not so. There are a number of young people out there who, through the magic of human nature, have built small empires with their regional or just small designer handbagsbusiness. Some of these obscure local designers are becoming more and more popular in their cities and regions and are quite satisfied with their incomes and business sizes. Wow…what a way to start out, huh? Do you have what it takes? Do you know of one of these hometown heroes?
